06-05-2016–Butt Field Open Mic 2

 

 

The second open mic in Bingham and I hope it was due to superstation that less players attended.

First Open Mice here http://jonnchapman.blogspot.co.uk/2016/04/01-04-2016-butt-field-open-mic.html

To those who did and those who did not, another great night was had.

Food was laid on  Pork cobs and chips, and there were crisps on the table too (bagged ready for eating not litter)
Beer at £2 and pint and Player Reward Tokens for a free drink, what an open mic it was!!!!
